Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1215-1219 Waller Street in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood was constructed in 1900 and stands three stories tall as a flats and duplex structure. Most recently, in July 2019, the property underwent significant maintenance with a $43,500 reroofing project that has been completed. The building has a documented history of routine housing inspections in 2003 and 2008, during which several safety concerns were identified and subsequently addressed. These violations included the need for self-closing devices on exterior doors, removal of combustible storage from a side passageway (a key emergency egress route), and the provision of proper gas utility shutoff tools. While these issues were all abated by October 2008, their initial occurrence highlighted past concerns about safety and security features.

More recently, the property has experienced ongoing maintenance and compliance issues primarily related to exterior conditions, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024. These calls have addressed various concerns including tree maintenance (with multiple reports in 2022, 2023, and 2024), sidewalk cleaning needs, and waste management issues such as toters being left out and loose garbage. A notable incident occurred in July 2022 involving waste cleanup, which required outreach and enforcement intervention. Additionally, there was an investigation into an illegal short-term rental operation at the property, though this matter was eventually closed and abated. The building's history shows a pattern of requiring attention to both safety features and exterior maintenance, with all identified violations having been resolved through appropriate corrective actions.

Risk rating

How 1215-1219 Waller St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Moderate concern 15.9%
Severe concern 5.9%
